I am glad I can directly serve our students by promoting their growth in positive behavior.

Hi my name is Alex Keel and I am a MS Science Teacher here at CDS. As a member of the PBIS team, I share the goal of creating and promoting positive behavior expectations. With my past experience as a wildlife biologist and animal behaviorist, I understand how important positive reinforcement is to learning. I look forward to contributing to an atmosphere of positive thinking at CDS that encourages students to R.I.S.E. to their highest potential and grow into well-rounded adults.

Hi! My name is Jason Baker. I am the Grade 7 English teacher, Middle School Coordinator, 7/8 EAL teacher and proud member of the MS PBIS team. While we are doing our best to give clear and reasonable expectations to our students, we are aware that, like anyone, students have both good days and bad, needing the guidance and support of the adults in their lives. I see our PBIS team working to meet these needs in the school community to support our students with a positive mindset and a warm heart.
